Where You End by Abbott Kahler
3.0
Another intriguing premise which ended up falling short for me. When Katherine ("Kat") Bird awakens from a coma following a car accident, she has absolutely no memory of her life before – except her twin sister, Jude. With her memories in Jude's hands, Kat is desperate to find out more about who she was – is – and the frightening blackouts that seem to plague her.
Meanwhile, Jude is playing a dangerous game, trying to manipulate Kat's memories and protect her from the past. Raised in an abusive New Age cult, the girls took drastic action to flee when the scales fell from their eyes. Now, the past may be coming back to haunt them – and Kat, without her memories, is woefully unprepared for who she's up against.
Told through two timelines, we jump between the present day and the twins' childhood in the cult. There's a lot of potential here, but unfortunately I didn't find the narration particularly compelling. There were also elements which seemed significant, like what happened to their father, which were never fully explained. I had high hopes for this one, but it ended up being a fairly bland and mediocre read.
